Nutrition/Health – The role of nutrition in brain development is complex, nutrition has been called the single greatest environmental influences on babies in the womb and during infancy, and it remains essential throughout the first five years of life. A proper balance of nutrients in this formative period is critical for normal brain development. Shortage of nutrients such as iron and iodine can impact cognitive and motor development, and these effects are often irreversible. Children who are malnourished are deprived of adequate calories and protein in their diet, through the infant life they do not grow either physically or mentally, children who are malnourished may have inadequate brain...

...Importance of art in the life of people Introduction Art is a vehicle with expression and communication of emotions and ideas in conjunction. The types of art are: fine art, performing art and others. Fine art is a kind of visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged by its beauty and meaningfulness, especially painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolour, graphic and architecture. Conversely, performing art uses the artist’s body, face, and presence as a medium. The latter include; dance, drama, music, opera, theatre, magic, spoken word, circus arts and many such performed art. Body Painting- fine art It is a mode of expression which means it expresses spiritual motifs, feelings and ideas. Painting can be naturalistic and representational such as still life and landscape and it can also be photographic and abstract. Painting is one of the three romantic arts along with poetry and music for its symbolic, highly intellectual purpose. “The mona lisa” is one of the most recognisable artist painting in western world. So painting is meaningful in most people life. Sculpture – is an important form of public art (fine art) It is a three dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard material by the use of imagination. Sculpture is highly influential by its originality and genuineness which means it comes directly from the heart of the producer and reaches the heart of the consumer. A collection of sculpture in a garden...

...If this interpretation is correct then even from the opening line there is an air of positivity in the way Chaucer writes about the monk, whilst his more frivolous life could lead to him being viewed negatively Chaucer doesn’t openly portray him as such. The phrase “manly man “ could be interpreted in two ways leading to different meanings for the line. Either the Monks generosity/friendliness is being described or his virility, which carries an undertone of sexuality not commonly associated with a man of the church. This break from the archetype of a typical Monk is shown throughout the extract. The fact that the Monk owns stables of fine horses and the fastest hounds adds to the idea that rather than being based on any one man as it was previously thought, this character is an allegorical hyperbole for the more frivolous of the estate. Yet again Chaucer chooses to present the Monk in a rather jovial way, his description of the mans shiny head and face due to being rubbed with oil could be seen as almost accepting of the monks love of life, his vitality. However whispers of sarcasm and disapproval can arguably be seen. The Monk violates his monastic orders with almost everything he does and whilst he is not openly criticized the way in which Chaucer chose to order his ideas arguably speak volumes as to the opinion he held of...

...structures within art culture are in fact controlled by elitist ideology and the ruling class. It is those who control the galleries and exhibitions, such as museum directors, collectors, critics and curators that possess the power to exclude groups and make art an elitist subject. When looking at the arts and art history it’s clear that in the past, particularly during the renaissance period, art was dominated by white wealthy men. This was due to the wealthier having easier access to art materials, schooling and better access to museums and other art establishments. However when looking at other historical periods, for example ancient Greece, the arts where more widely available to everyone because of the open theatres and stadiums, meaning that most people could participate in the arts. It could be argued that the introduction of the critics and curator as well as the other positions of power have created the elitist ideology so often associated with the arts. Visual artist Rozendaal (no date) argues that many people in these positions of power use ‘intimidation to achieve authority’ as a way to keep art an elitist subject. So very few people control what we do or do not see as artwork and rather than being seen as something that reflects our culture, art has become more of an investment and a ‘playthings for the bourgeoisie’. Kurtis (no date) However it could be argued that the concept of elitism is changing, due to the advances in technology and the internet becoming...

...Hidden Worldviews: Chapter 3 Consumerism Chapter three of Hidden Worldviews by Steve Wilkens and Mark L. Sanford is about consumerism and the fine line between consuming things the way we should through Scripture and using much more than we actually need, making us consumers. At the most basic level, we all must consumer things. It unavoidable to not eat, drink, wear or live all must come from nature. That is any form of biological life. Humans however are more than this and must fulfill our social, educational, cultural and spiritual needs and desires. This requires natural resources to a degree. It is impossible to say that the consumption that makes life possible is bad. Beyond this though, it is clear that we must consume things to preserve and enhance our lives, but there is also the danger that responsible consumption will degenerate into consumerism. Consumerism is “a worldview that starts wit something that is a relative good-consumption- and makes it an absolute good” (Wilkens & Sanford pg. 45). Those that are consumers believe that we can find fulfillment by accumulating wealth and everything that comes with it. Although a consumerist “worldview is that almost non one will admit that they believe that salvation can be found by acquiring and using things” (Wilkens & Sanford pg. 45). We use way more than we actually need but why do we do this? They proceed to explain reasons why we continue to se more than we need. We all desire fulfilling and satisfying lives...

...Be-do Be-do License and registration please then BOOM you received a DWI. This speech is to inform you about DWI (Driving While Impaired) and ways to avoid a DWI. Besides been curious about this topic because I have seen many of my associates and friends receive a DWI; I also feel that this is very important and yet interesting subject for people to be aware of as well as the consequences for making the wrong decision. First, we will discuss about the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) test, the many penalties when an individual received a DWI, and finally discuss the many ways to avoid a DWI. Let’s begin with the BAC test also known as “Blood Alcohol Concentration” (According to WebMD.com Last Updated: November 07, 2011) this test measures the amount of alcohol in your body. Alcohol is quickly absorbed into the blood and can be measured within minutes of having an alcoholic drink. Now does anyone know what is the percentage that will qualify you to be impaired or to be classified as a DWI victim? Well the percentage is .08% however, for anyone with a prior record of a DWI it is .04%. For anyone who blows a .15% or higher they will be put on what is call “an ignition interlock devices”. Which is A machine connected to your car's ignition that checks for the presence of alcohol in the driver. The driver must blow into the machine to start the car and continue to periodically blow into the device to keep the car in motion. But if it senses any alcohol it will not turn on....

...Polynesian Tattoo.” Despite, the cultural importance of tattoos they still face social stigma, especially in the workplace. A Harris poll found that 21% of adults have tattoos. A different study by the Pew Research Center said in in the 18 to 29 age group, it was closer to 40%, and yet 72% said that they keep them covered up (Heimlich). With how important tattoos are and have been as an aspect of culture and an art form, they shouldn’t be stigmatized anymore. Though many developed countries and areas have stigmatized the acts of tattooing and body modification, these practices originated as an ancient and important art form and shouldn’t be considered unimportant or unacceptable. The English word ‘tattoo’ comes from the Samoan word ‘tatau,’ meaning correct or womanlike (Skin). How the English word originated allows people to deduce that this would’ve been close to the first time English speakers saw tattoos. The fact that it became part of language, existing in dictionaries shows how important this practice was from the beginning, for all cultures. Tattooing was and is an aspect of native cultures. Some would say that the native act of tattooing should not receive praise or acceptance because of the methods they use in the practice of tattooing. These methods are often dangerous and unsanitary, especially compared to those in developed areas. Sanchari Pal mentions that a common method is by poking or stabbing the person with a sharp tool and an ink that made with natural ingredients...

...Probation Essay What is probation and why think of this as a career? Probation is a sentence handed down to a convict that is released from confinement but is still under court supervision.(Probation. 2015) Probation can be given in lieu of a prison term or can suspend a prison sentence if the convict has consistently demonstrated good behavior. People who can be put on probation are adults and juveniles who have committed a crime that allows them the option of probation. “When an offender is put on probation, all or part of the jail sentence and or fines are suspended. However probation is a conditional sentence, meaning if an offender does not comply with the conditions of his or her probation it can be revoked, and the suspended jail sentence and fines can be reinstituted. Standard probation conditions are conditions that are imposed no matter the type or level of the crime”(Probation Duty.2015). They include rehabilitative terms, meaning the offender would have to attend group or individual therapy. Submit to random drug tests and avoid anyone who is associated with criminal activity. Now probation officers job duties are being responsible for supervising people that have been placed on probation.You would have personal interaction with those on probation. Oftentimes, you might visit the probationer in their home. The probation officer also partners with organizations in the community to help rehabilitate the offender. These organizations are also asked to assist in monitoring...

...unambiguous, in our judgment we are bound to construe them in their ordinary sense, even though it does lead to an absurdity or manifest injustice"- Jervis CJ in Abley v. Dale 1851. The literal rule means the interpretation of Acts purely according to their literal meaning; it has fallen out of favour since the 19th Century. The literal rule of statutory interpretation says that words in a statute should be given their ordinary, literal meaning, no matter how absurd the result . An example of this rule can be seen in IRC v Hinchy (1960), in which the House of Lords was considering the effect of the Income Tax Act 1952. Section 25 of the ITA stated that any tax avoider should pay a £20 fine and ‘treble the tax which he ought to be charged under this Act’. Hinchy’s lawyers argued that this meant a £20 fine and treble the amount of tax which had been avoided. Unfortunately for Hinchy, the House of Lords decided that the literal meaning of ‘treble the tax which he ought to be charged under this Act’ was that a tax avoider should pay a£20 fine and treble his whole tax bill for the year. The outcome of the case was that Hinchy had to pay £438, even though the amount he had avoided was only £14.It is almost certain that the meaning applied by the House of Lords was not what Parliament had in mind when the Income Tax Act 1952 was passed. The statute was badly worded. The blame for this must lie with the parliamentary draftsmen. At the same time, however, it must be realised that they have a...

...Trauma, Development, and Spirituality Clayton Newsome Dr. Pamela Todd Counseling 502 September 11, 2014 Introduction People can suffer from many different situations throughout their life time. Trauma is one effect that can cause a person to do things out of the ordinary. When a person suffers from trauma it can affect them for the rest of their life. In this essay I will discuss how trauma can affect a person through development as well as spiritually. Neural Development Trauma can affect a child’s neural development and will attack their fine motor skills in a way where it is hard for them to function. In young children, gross motor, fine motor, and cognitive development are intertwined processes related to the maturation timetables of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurons are migrating, proliferating, and making more complex connections. Children become capable of more sophisticated communications with the production of neurotransmitters. Myelination, the sheathing of neurons in protective layers of fatty and protein substances, increases the rate of neuronal firing and facilitates faster, more complex signals between brain cells and from the brain to the rest of the body (Roehlkepartain, 2006). Children who are tested for ADHD are normally given a false reading, which causes a since of not know for sure how many children have the disorder. There are drug treatments for this type of disorder such as Ritalin or Dexadrine. However, some studies suggest...

...'Auld Lang Syne' Song Lyrics, Meaning And Everything You Need To Know About The Popular New Year's Eve Song By Carey Vanderborg@CareyDrew2 on December 31 2012 3:07 PM Among the many traditions that come with ringing in the new year, the singing of “Auld Lange Syne” has become a staple of every gathering. While “Auld Lange Syne” was originally a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788, it was eventually set to the tune of a traditional folk song. The title of the Scottish tune translates to "times gone by" and is about remembering friends from the past and not letting them be forgotten. Now, at the conclusion of almost every New Year's celebration, partygoers join hands with the person next to them to form a great circle around the dance floor. At the beginning of the last verse, everyone crosses their arms across their breast, so that the right hand reaches out to the neighbor on the left and vice versa. When the tune ends, everyone rushes to the middle, while still holding hands. When the circle is re-established, everyone turns under the arms to end up facing outward with hands still joined. Over the years, “Auld Lang Syne” has taken on a life of its own as musicians put their own spin on the traditional New Year's jaunt. As the jam band Phish returns to Madison Square Garden in New York City for a four-show New Year's Eve run to close out 2012, the band will continue to play their rendition of “Auld Lang Syne” as they have done since 1989. As Phish rings in the...

...same principle can also apply to an idea, or any ideas. In Jane Goodall’s essay “In the Forests of Gombe”, she tells the readers her own experiences when lives in a forest with chimpanzees, and her thoughts about religious beliefs and science. Jane Goodall believes that science, true knowledge is not the only part of the world, perhaps only a small part of the world, and religious beliefs are another way to explain the mysteries of life. In the world of science, god is like a joke, because it is against every pieces of the information that they study since no evidences can prove that god exist. On the other hand, a religious person believes the existence of god. It really is not important who is right or wrong in this case. They are all human and living together. Science and religions are both telling the truth of life, but in a different form. Science is direct, it tells one the lesson right away, but religion helps people to believe in themselves. Science and religions share a same principle, both of them are essential to our daily life. Although science contradict religions, but the existence of both together is not mutually exclusive and better for the future generation. Over centuries, the relationship between science and religion is like fire to water, incompatible, yet there...
